Bitget's CFD platform hits $8B daily volume, driven 95% by gold contracts amid global macro volatility.

Bitget's contracts-for-difference (CFD) trading volume reached a record $8 billion in a single day, led by gold-linked contracts which accounted for 95% of the increase. This surge reflects strong demand from Chinese-speaking, European, and Southeast Asian traders, who together contributed 85% of the growth. The rise in gold and other precious metals trading is driven by global macroeconomic factors such as geopolitical risks, inflation concerns, and changing interest rate expectations. Bitget's Universal Exchange model allows seamless trading across crypto and traditional assets using USDT, positioning the platform as a bridge between crypto and traditional financial markets.
